Very pleased with our newest publication! In this study, we identify the Calcineurin-NFAT-DSCR1.4 signaling pathway as a druggable driver of capillary malformations caused by the GNAQ p.R183Q mutation, which is associated with port-wine stains and Sturge-Weber syndrome.

Is endothelium a type of epithelium?
I am @icfortunato.bsky.social & I would like to discuss this with a short🧵 focused on cell-cell junctions, specifically adherens junctions.

This still is one of our favourite experiments!
In 2012, @huveneerslab.bsky.social et al. show 2 states of AJs in endothelial cells: stable and remodeling.
Stable state ➡️ actin cables parallel to the junctions & have low force.
Remodeling state ➡️ actin cables perpendicular to the junctions & have high force.
